“…Therefore, climatic risks such as drought, cyclone and heavy rainfall leading to the crop failure, asset loss, and livestock has statistically significant and positive effects on the decision to migrate at least one member from the household. Some recent studies have supported this results (Badianai & Safir, 2008;Gioli et al, 2016;Hummel, 2016;Pradhan & Narayanan, 2019;Rajan & Bhagat, 2018;Rebhun & Goldstein, 2009).…”

The paper aims to focus on climatic risk as a potential determinant of temporary labour migration in Semi-Arid Tropics (SAT) village in India for the year 2013-2014. Specifically, we address the question of how households use temporary labour migration as a coping mechanism to minimise the risk posed by climate variables such as drought, floods, cyclone etc. In doing so, the paper uses a binary choice model (logistic regression) to examine the potential socioeconomic and demographic factors along with climatic risk that determine the probability of migration of workers in select Indian semi-arid villages. The paper uses data from International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). The results show that among all climatic risk anomalies, maximum households in SAT villages are affected by drought risk. It is accounted that 69% of households are influenced by the drought risk. With respect to compensation of climatic risk, around 17% of non-migrant households received government support, while only 9% of migrant households received such assistance in this study. Also, the logistic regression models predict that the probability of household having any temporary migrants is significantly determined by climatic risk along with other demographic and socio-economic factors. To the best of the authors' knowledge, perhaps this is the first paper that makes a direct approach of linking climatic risk with temporary labour migration in semi-arid tropics region of India.

“…Recently, the extent of Jewish migration has increased slightly, mostly on account of long‐distance migration (Rebhun and Goldstein, 2006). Important determinants of Jews’ mobility levels are educational achievements and professional concentration (Goldstein and Goldstein, 1996; Rebhun and Goldstein, 2009), abetted by changes in career, marital status, and retirement. The combination of Jews’ high migration rates and the direction in which they are moving—toward the Sunbelt—has weakened Jewish spatial distinctiveness, aligning the Jews more closely with their U.S. counterparts (Rebhun and Goldstein, 2006).…”

“…These criteria were applied to both the 1990 and 2000 NJPS, thus ensuring maximum comparability between the two samples. By so doing, I followed previous comparative investigations of these two studies (Rebhun and Goldstein, 2009; Rebhun and Levy, 2006). Notably, however, NJPS‐2000 revealed a third group of people who profess no religion, or a religion theologically compatible with Judaism, who did not consider themselves Jewish but have a Jewish mother and/or father (hereinafter PJB).…”

This article examines changes between 1985–1990 and 1995–2000 in relationships between migration and religioethnic identification among U.S. Jews. The results of multivariate analyses of the 1990 and 2000 National Jewish Population Surveys show that Jewish background characteristics have lost their significance as determinants of internal migration and, especially, migration across state boundaries. Concurrently, migration no longer constitutes a serious threat to group continuity and erstwhile negative effects on major religious and social behaviors have disappeared. When the two surveys were integrated into one data set, it was found that “time” enhances the inclination of Jews to move and strengthens their religious and ethnic commitments (though not their commitments to informal Jewish networks). The results are discussed in reference to three competing perspectives of migration‐identification relationships—“selectivity,”“disruption,” and “heightening”—and in the wider theoretical context of religious and ethnic processes in the contemporary United States.
